abstract= A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming, halophilic bacterium (strain HSL-3T) was isolated from a salt lake near Hwajinpo beach on the East Sea in Korea and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain HSL-3T grew optimally in the presence of 2–10 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain HSL-3T showed poor growth in the absence of NaCl and grew in the presence of less than 23 % NaCl. The cell wall peptidoglycan type of strain HSL-3T was A4β based on l-orn–d-Asp. The predominant menaquinone found in strain HSL-3T was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Strain HSL-3T had a cellular fatty acid profile containing large amounts of branched fatty acids; the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain HSL-3T was 45 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that strain HSL-3T falls within the radiation of the cluster comprising Halobacillus species. Strain HSL-3T exhibited levels of 16S rDNA similarity of 97·4–98·4 % to the type strains of Halobacillus species. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain HSL-3T and the type strains of all validly named Halobacillus species were in the range 7·3–9·2 %. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data and the genomic distinctiveness, strain HSL-3T (=KCCM 41590T=JCM 11546T) should be placed in the genus Halobacillus as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Halobacillus salinus sp. nov. is proposed.,
